TJ was fantastic in every way - the service he provided was first class, he was fair and patient - he even helped me learn about the process and how I could do some of the work myself moving forward. He allowed me to provided some additional recordings without charge which is hugely generous in this industry. And most importantly, the final product was brilliant. He will be my go to guy moving forward!

This gifted and talented man knocked it out the park once again. He's professional and the quality of the work is top-shelf. The project took longer than anticipated, but the wait was worth it. He just "gets it". The song sounds amazing. I look forward to more opportunities to work with him.
